Team captain Ryan Craig was a true leader for the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins this season. He was 2nd on the team in scoring during both the regular season and playoffs. His +7 in the playoffs was the best on the team.
He played six games for Pittsburgh in February when the injuries hit the organization hard up front. Craig went scoreless in those games but other than the -3 in the Islanders/Penguins fight night, he was an even +/- in the other five games.
Craig would be a good depth signing for the organization and a good leader to have in the AHL locker room with the rookies and prospects in the minors. He was a 20G/20A guy the past two seasons and there's no reason to believe he can't continue at about that pace. He is a solid two-way forward who can play on the power play and penalty kill. Craig also isn't afraid to drop the gloves to stick up for his teammates or to give his team a wake up call.
